They also discussed how students with higher grades had a better chance of going to college, while those with lower grades had a higher chance of going to jail, getting shot or getting killed, parents told The Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Although there was no intended malice involved

Yeah, what harm could come from making a gradeschooler think about getting shot or going to jail every time they take a test? I'm sure it will provide great motivation instead of turning the poor kids into nervous wrecks.

Enlarge/reduce an enemy. Have your fighter pick them up and use them as a weapon on the other enemies. Bonus if you have tavern brawler.

And when your run out of enemies to hit with the one you're holding? Hit the floor with it. If the floor is on fire they take bludgeoning and fire damage.

Good times.

I used to smoke weed. I still do, but I used to, too.

I was trying to research creating miniature biomes in a garden setting. Instead, I learned more about how garden and skin microbes overlap.

Not at all disappointed.

Think of all the people you've known who were open minded and accepting and how small the number of them seemed compared to the majority when we were growing up. Know that a lot of those people probably went on to inspire those qualities in others and raise their kids to value those things. I've seen mainstream society come a long way from my childhood in the 80s and teens in the 90s.

I agree, I had a lot more hope for Gen X but we were up against the juggernaut of the boomer voting bloc. As those selfish fucks age out we're finally looking at the possibility of righting the ship.

Grew up in the 80s and 90s. As progressive and openminded as I thought I was then...holy shit there are a lot of words and phrases I won't touch any more because they sound archaic, racist, mysoginistic, or hateful today. Back then they were perfectly acceptable everyday things no one would bat an eye at. It does make me happy that at least in this small arena we seem to have made progress as a society.

Sounds more like people didn't want to change forms which is even fucking more sad.

I keep asking myself this every time the christofascists win a supreme court case.

The majority of US citizens believe in legal abortion but, hey here we are!

I have 4 kilts and wear them to work when I want to, almost as a dare to management so I can retire off a lawsuit. Utilikilts and Verillas have great kilts with pockets for workin' men that like a pretty skirt.
